Once again - although under slightly different circumstances - @flydubai and @DubaiAirports - where’s my luggage?

Not something I do often but appalling service from @flydubai to Sri Lanka. A delayed flight, possibly the most uncomfortable plane seats and lost luggage at the other end. What a rubbish start to a hard-earned holiday. Do better.

Sorry for the fan-girl, non-Edu-Twitter twittering, Edu-Twitter. As you were.

Appearing at ComicCave on a shelf near… each other, their very excellencies @brettgoldstein and @brendanhunting. When you know, you know. We only took one home this time, though. #tedlasso #coachbeard #roykent #noroykent #notedlasso #hercules #geekgirls

On English teaching, and feeling swamped. @NATEfeed @EnglishAssoc @Team_English1 @EngMediaCentre

Here’s to more than one tweet a year 🤞🏽

I’d get to talk about films and books. And my cat, who is a dead ringer for Lennie Small - So the GCSE’s tied in. I’ll give it a go.😍 Also go and watch @TedLasso - it’s a ridiculously funny and heartwarming watch.

If you do nothing else this week, go and find @brettgoldstein and his delightful ‘Films to be Buried With’. I may well record my own episode by myself, I love the idea so much, but in a nod to my current career, I might call it ‘Films and books to be Buried With.’ #ftbbw

Hello, it’s all been a bit busy lately but I think I need to make a bit of an effort, really, so Happy New Year! Exciting new things on the way at JESS in Sept but for now here’s a podcast + an actor who has reminded me of my film teacher past life and love of ALL THINGS MOVIE.

Ridiculously proud of the intellectual heights my @JESSYear11 reached over the last 2 years. Here’s some mixed revision for both their IGCSE English Lang & Lit exams - in-depth speech analysis on To Kill a Mockingbird to reinforce speech-writing skills. #JESSCriticalThinking #👏🏼

It’s been a while - but here are my absolutely delightful @JESSYear11 English class speed dating - with language devices - post-blooket #funinenglish #IGCSEEnglishlanguageprep #lovelystudents @JESSDubai @JESS_Secondary

For all those of us who are still in #dxb for the summer: have a coffee and chill @cassettedxb, opposite @courtyardplayhouse in #alquoz. While @fierce_dancer_eg is Drama camping, I’m taking a lil’ time for some really good coffee (and banana cake.) #mydu… https://t.co/glHx1ZRE7X

Finally all that Belle dress up has paid off! 😁 I couldn’t be more thrilled nor more proud of you, @fierce_dancer_eg. What wonderful news to end Year 7 @jessdubaischool with: Young Belle in the school production of #beautyandthebeast next year. Hopef… https://t.co/ghaywnqKOK
